Maybe it's all that marketing that's gotten to my head, but I choose Cohiba. I just love their flavor profile, but not too fond of their cost.

The oldest cohiba I've smoked had maybe 2 or 3 years of age and it was fantastic. I can't imagine how the 5-10 year old ones taste.

If you would have asked me a few months ago I would have said Bolivar= slam dunk. But lately I've been smoking a lot more Upmanns and I gotta say they are giving the Bolis a run for their/my money. But for now....its Bolivar.

El Rey del Mundo for me, I really miss all the old vitolas

[JohnS]

No contest for me ... Cohiba

X2

No contest for me either, x 3! Cohiba all the way!

[RijkdeGooier]

All they ever made?

Then it's Partagas no contest. Wouldn't mind trying out those invisible immensos ?

[Jager223]

Partagas for me, something sublime for every occasion.

[aliz388]

cohiba for sure

[joeruby]

When money is no object, and you can only pick one..

Cohiba all the way.

[cosmoker]

Looking in my humi it is easy to see Partagas. I have 8 different vitolas of this marca. I can find one or any occasion and length of time.

This one is a very difficult question for me. I would have said prior to 1998, the choice would be Bolivar by a country mile, with RyJ coming in second.

In the modern era, however, I really don't think there's one marca that stands out as the best. Partagas and RyJ have the most diverse lineups, but have some inconsistency issues throughout the lineup. I like Monte, but the lineup is a bit limited. Cohiba has excellent consistency, but the taste has never been a favorite for me. It's never been a brand I spend much money on.

I think I'd actually have to go with Monte. Quality has been high for a decade, very consistent in blend/construction, I like having a corona and lonsdale in the lineup as well as the Laguito #1 and #2. I'd probably start to pine for something a little earthier and stronger at some point, but the Monte blend can hold it's own.

Easy....Partagas.

[TomF]

Upmann or Partagas. It's a toss-up.

[zeedubbya]

Money no object Cohiba with Partagas a distant second. Love a great D4 or Lusi but would choose Robusto and Esplendido without even a second thought.

[TheMonk]

Upmann. I'm an Upmann *****, and I'm not ashamed to say it.

[eswary]

Toss up:

Diplomatico vs Partagas

I'd like them to bring back the lonsdale and pc but even with the three regular production vitolas it's still my pick

[ksblazer]

I'd have to go with Partagas. I have smoked many enjoyable partagas and really miss the SdC's and lonsdales.

[mcease022]

Easy - Partagas or Cohiba

[Kurt]

Cohiba for me as well.

[terrantheman]

Partagas lonsdales from the 70's

or

H Up Super Coronas from early

[scottyfwil]

I have been a Monte guy since starting the hobby, but lately have been drifting more and more to Upmann.

[JoeyW]

Montecristo would be the one i would choose .
